While every child is different, most children need to be given consistent, clear rules and expectations about behavior. The following are some general principles about discipline: 1. Discipline needs to begin as soon as the child is mobile - pulling up and crawling. 2. Young infants rely on their parents to provide a safe environment. 3. Discipline should be age-focused and should teach age-appropriate behaviors. 4. Try to recognize and praise your child when he/she is being good. 5. Be a good role model for your child. 6. Physical punishment is not needed or appropriate. 7. Rewards for good behavior should be immediate. |
